Membership Program – Join Now!
We are now offering a Membership Program to our members. Membership entitles paid members to receive $10.00 off any single tournament each month. If you play one tournament each month, you’ll receive a total of $120 discount. In addition, we started Casual Chess every Friday night on a weekly basis (excluding some weeks for scheduling conflicts). We also plan to hold a Casual Chess session on at least one weekend day each month. The cost will be $7 each week but the fee is included in Membership benefits for all Paid Members. The annual membership fee is $100.00. For two or more players in a household (e.g. siblings or parent/children), the annual membership fee is $150 for up to 4 household players. While paying the annual membership fee is optional, please consider that by becoming a paid member, you will be helping to ensure SNVCC continues to grow and expand. Join Now!

The Southern Nevada Chess Club is trying a first of its kind (for us) Introduction to Chess Course for kids ages 7-10. This accelerated and ambitious project for students who have little or no knowledge of Chess will be facilitated by one of our members, Ed Pollock, along with myself with assistance from 11-year-old Julia Wang (approximate rating: 1000). The course will run for 90 minutes, including a 10-15 minute break midway through each class, on seven consecutive Saturdays from 12:15pm-1:45pm beginning November 16 and concluding on December 28. The fee of $210 will include USCF membership and a post-course rated tournament only for the students.
This course is for highly interested kids in the age bracket and students must plan to attend all sessions. For more info, including the expected curriculum, please see the flyer on our website at https://snvchess.com/intro Please do refer friends who may be interested. We have a minimum of 6 spots and a maximum of 8 spots available.
